Baby Formula for Illegal Immigrants, But Shortages for American Citizens?

In a joint statement issued on Thursday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott and National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) President Brandon Judd accused President Biden of turning "a blind eye to parents across American who are facing a nationwide baby formula shortage."

"While mothers and fathers stare at empty grocery store shelves in a panic, the Biden Administration is happy to provide baby formula to illegal immigrants coming across our southern border," they wrote.

"This is yet another one in a long line of reckless, out-of-touch priorities from the Biden Administration when it comes to securing our border and protecting Americans. Our children deserve a president who puts their needs and survival first – not one who gives critical supplies to illegal immigrants before the very people he took an oath to serve," they said.

The statement comes after Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) posted a photograph on Twitter purporting to show "shelves and pallets packed with baby formula" at the at the Ursula Border Control processing center in McAllen, Texas, while grocery shelves elsewhere in this country have little if any formula left to sell.
